announcer: we here at the january sixth convention dont know how to get people to do anything, but continue to convene to announce: there were some crimes. some crimening happened. there was crimeification. there's crimeifiers involved, they did some crime, it's really obvious, there's just crime juice all over the place, like we just turn on this blacklight and whabam it's a crimetastrophe in here. the uncrimenifying elements of government and society should probably spray some crimenicide on it or you know really do anything, anything at all. i turn now to the lieutenant announcer for some followup

lieutenant announcer: ahem. good morning ladies and gentlemen of the united states. ahm, ahem. we of the january sixth select committee shall discuss our findings as follows. basically there's this president except he's got huge crimes. i mean some serious ciminolas. a real set of crimedonkers. packin some doboncrimekeros. massive dohoonkabhancrimeoloos. big ol' tonhongerecrimekoogers. what happens next?! protesters and white supremacist groups show up with even bigger bonkhonagacrimeoogs. humongous crimehungolomghononoloughongous

Super pumped about this not because I think this will sink trump in any way or deliver the actionable returns the committee wants, but rather because I hate trump just as a person and enjoy anyone slamming more stress on his plate and driving the man closer to a rage and anxiety induced meltdown

Plus I also just love thinking about what his team has to go through trying desperately to counsel and train him not to make the stupidest and most unforced errors possible

At least one of the news creatures (Ari Melber?) had it as a hardcover book with annotations and interviews and whatever. I’m guessing it’s that or something parallel?

But yeah, hardly shocked since it’s a compilation publicly available documents. This seems less like a Jan 6 story and more like “Questionable Coffee-table Book Sells Poorly”.

Can't wait to place a physicalized painful reminder that justice is deferred and largely denied in a way which reiterates the selectivity of accountability to our legal system that exists for the rich and privileged ... on my coffee table

Every time I get through some gassed up "this is HUGE legal trouble for trump, this is IMMEDIATELY prosecutable, it is one TRILLION percent illegal according to spengwicker county v. a box of Spencer's Gifts novelty penis pasta" article, I'm like great all you did is further reinforce how difficult it is to conclude he doesn't benefit from a clearly different system and standard of legal accountability to be able to still be out shittin on his gold toilet after over half a decade of repeatedly stocking up on felony bullshit advertised clearly on tv

If Donnie is indicted for the classified documents would he be released pending the trial just as he was in the NY case? Or is he likely to be in custody while that plays out?

i mean normally a motherfucker would have been apprehended real loving quick over this, and it wouldn't have been much of a question of the ethics of stringing out the process of determining if bail will be offered while they gently caress around a cell for a while, so i will assume he will NOT be in custody for any reason

I like how it's actually The Mattering today actually for serious and part of this often rumored never materialized event, when it finally unicorns in, is pictures of a wall of classified documents trump just stacked up by the shitter and audio transcripts of trump all going "look here at all my illegal documents, wow, just look here, isn't that neat, these documents (the illegal ones)" and then his fuckin Lionel Hutz rear end legal team does a backflip out the back window

Every time this old gently caress drops these big angry boomer tantrum sessions about the law victimizing him and how he gon stand tall against it with super alpha male energy I just remember that when he was in court having his lawyer enter his plea, jack smith was thoroughly analyzing him laser eyes style, just completely staring him down, and trump was completely cowed out of eye contact

it's 100 percent that poo poo like where he can never fire someone in person. If he doesn't get a free walk compliments of a pocket judge or whatever and actually gets sentenced for this, it's going to be weird watching future history textbooks try to academically and appropriately word the description for "former president was legally bitchmade"

[points at self, gives front and side profile to camera] Yes this camera here, you have to destroy the evidence this camera collects. My, Carlos, boss, Donald Trump, demanded we destroy this evidence to protect him from being legally charged with the illegal things he did. Jerry do you need me to detail it more?

Could someone provide some context on the significance of the RICO charges here? I follow this thread because I'm excited about the prospect of watching Trump get toasted in a court of law, but I have zero legal background. All I have gathered so far is that the racketeering charges are the sorts of charges that helped to bring about significant consequences for organized crime. Are RICO sentencing standards more strict? Do they allow for longer sentences? Is it easier to get a conviction on those grounds? Or, basically, why should I be jazzed about this if I want to see this dude in actual, serious, real-deal trouble?

i just think of it as a giant billyclub the government gave itself to do comic cartoon skull violence to the mafia and similar organized crime groups and undermine their systems of power (and the corrupt ways they were able to shield themselves from accountability especially at the top levels). and as usual once the government gives itself that kind of unsubtle rights-piercing ammunition it doesn't take long before it just gets used against anyone they feel like once it achieved its original purpose of loving up the mob, so for a while its mostly famous for deciding groups of undesirables are an organized racketeering operation actually

now recently famous for deciding trump is a mob boss
